Yoink for Mac improves your workflow by providing a “shelf" for your files and snippets, and with Yoink for iPad and iPhone, you can store anything you can drag, copy, share or download.
It’s a great app that really shines on each platform. My thanks to Yoink for sponsoring 512 Pixels this week.
Jason Snell is back with the annual Six Colors Report Card, and as always, it was an honor to take part in it.
It was a notable year for the Mac and the Apple TV, but in very different ways.
I’ve used CARROT Weather for several years. I love weather apps, and I love apps that take advantage of everything Apple has to offer on its platforms, and CARROT sits right at the intersection.
The design is all-new, and more liking to my tastes than before, with less artwork and better data density. It comes with several themes, any of which you can customize. Here is how I have my CARROT Weather set up:
This week on Connected, Myke has a theory, Stephen has a crush and Federico has opinions on olives. Also: a discussion about Tweetbot 6 and what makes app subscriptions worth it.

Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2021 first quarter ended December 26, 2020. The Company posted all-time record revenue of $111.4 billion, up 21 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $1.68, up 35 percent. International sales accounted for 64 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
This pretty much sums it up:
iPhone revenue was $65.6 billion, up 17% YOY; Mac was $8.7b, up 21%; iPad $8.4b, up 41(!)%; Wearables/Home/Accessories, $13b up 30%; and Services, $15.8b, up 24%. Every geographic segment that Apple reports was up as well. Everything is up, up, up.
This time on Liftoff, we’re marking the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14:
Less than a year after the disastrous Apollo 13 mission, the program returned to flight when Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa and Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon in February, 1971.
My thanks to our sponsor:
Every president gets to change the decor of the Oval Office, allowing them to personalize and put their own stamp on the room. I found it fascinating that apparently, President Biden requested the loan of a moon rock from NASA to put on display in the Oval Office.
According to NASA, this moon rock was collected on NASA’s last crewed voyage to the Moon, Apollo 17. This mission launched on December 7, 1972, and was crewed by Gene Cernan, Jack Schmitt, and Ronald Evans (who remained in the command module orbiting the Moon while the other two astronauts touched down on the surface). The sample was collected in the Taurus-Littrow Valley and is 3.9 billion years old.
HP printers ship by default with either LPD or 9100 Printing as the highest priority printing protocol. If for some reason you’ve configured your HP printer to use IPP, it may not work with Bonjour.
A simple 11-step process will get things rolling again.
Yoink for Mac improves your workflow by providing a “shelf" for your files and snippets.
When you drag a file in Finder, or app-content like an image from a website, Yoink appears at the edge of your screen, where it will hold any files you drag to it until you need them again.
It’s much easier to navigate to the destination of your files without having to keep your mouse button pressed the entire time.
Photography as we know it has been around for about 150 years, though its origins can be traced to earlier civilizations. But it has never been so visceral, and so much a part of our daily lives, as it is now. In short, the arc of photography’s history is that it has always been about getting more and more people to take photographs. Our desire to know more about ourselves means we must have more of them, more often, in more places, and of many more things. Whether it was new chemicals or new film or new sensors, technological advances in this area have — by and large — been about making it simpler for us to capture the moment. All of it has brought us to today, when we have quietly passed the cultural tipping point where taking a photo is as second nature as breathing. There’s no art to it. It is just something we are always doing.
As the iPhone and iPad have become more full-featured, the software that runs them has gotten more complex and powerful. This time, David and Stephen run though a whole bunch of their favorite ways to get more out of these devices.
On More Power Users, we got into the recent avalanche of Mac rumors.
